My White Fiat Punto MJD

vulpine101 · 27th March 2010, 16:10

Hi sid,
Please update the thread. Hows your punto doing? And I am keen to know about positives and negatives from you in owner's perspective.

And please do some justice to the beauty by taking pictures in countryside scenic locations, Not just in the showroom.

Yes i too read it in that thread and it was posted by Khan75 , very sad to hear it sidindica please your clear your stance on this matter.

sidindica · 6th April 2010, 18:35

yes, the car is totalled and is now history.

Front 2 people escaped without a single scratch whereas the 3 rear seated ladies just had minor bruises in a car that somersalted 7 times on jaipur highway as the driver wanted to avoid being hit by an 18 wheeler container lorry.

Fiat's superb build quality has saved 4 people of our family (my dad's sister, her 2 daughters and granddaughter and the driver.)

Don't ask me for pics as I have no interest in posting and again remember that fateful day. Life goes on, and something really positive has come out of it.

car-dent · 6th April 2010, 18:48

arun1100 · 6th April 2010, 19:05

All thanks to the almighty and Fiat for keeping your family members safe.

Are you planning to go for another Punto?

sidindica · 6th April 2010, 19:09

No upgrade planed until 2011 at least. I don't know which car. Though I was really tempted at the new I20 magna at 4,89,000 with added features.

rupinder · 6th April 2010, 19:14

sorry to hear about your loss but cars can be bought again family is irreplaceable .glad to hear that everybody was safe.

NutsNBolts · 6th April 2010, 20:12

Sorry to hear about that Sid. There can be many superlatives that one can say for the build quality, but at the end of day, proof of pudding lies in eating. Good to know that all occupants came out safe.

driving_smartly · 6th April 2010, 22:21

Thats pretty sad at the end of the day alls well that ends well " JAAN HAI TOH JAHAN" What matters is that our near and dear ones are safe.

gemithomas · 6th April 2010, 22:26

6th April 2010, 22:36
